Nation-building in the Post-Soviet Borderlands
This book examines how national and ethnic identities are being reforged in the post-Soviet borderland states. The first chapter provides a conceptual and theoretical context for examining national identities, drawing in particular upon post-colonial theory. The rest of the book is divided into three parts. In Part I, the authors examine how national histories of the borderland states are being rewritten especially in relation to new nationalisin…
History of Linguistic Thought in the Early Middle Ages
History of Linguistic Thought in the Early Middle Ages
Surveys of linguistics in the Middle Ages often begin with the twelfth century, dismissing the preceding six centuries as 'devoid of originality' or 'dependent upon Donatus and Priscian'. This collection of articles devoted to linguistics in the early Middle Ages attempts to redress the balance by presenting a variety of approaches to new and controversial questions. The volume opens with a study of the historiography of early medieval grammar, w…

Anglo-saxon England
L'Angleterre est l'un des premiers pays européens à développer un usage littéraire de son vernaculaire. Pourtant c'est l'étude du latin qui domina la formation de la tradition grammaticale anglo-saxonne. La célèbre grammaire de Aelfric (10e siècle), est une grammaire du latin - les Excerptiones de Prisciano - traduite dans le vernaculaire. Nous n'y trouverons donc pas une description du vieil anglais, les formes vernaculaires qui accompagnent les…
When is Donatus not Donatus? Versions, variants and new texts
Distinguishing interpolated versions of Donatus’s Ars minor from seventh- and eighth-century grammars based on it is a problem which occasionally obscures aspects of the history of the transmission of the Ars minor as recently traced by Louis Holtz. Crucial for the distinction is the qualitative difference between simple interpolations and the expansions which characterise an independent work: deliberate alterations to wording and structure and t…
Late latin grammars in the early middle ages
The popularity, and hence survival, of certain of the grammars of late Antiquity in the early Middle Ages can to a large extent be described in typological terms. The two principal ancient genres, the Schulgrammatik and the regulae type, were joined in the fifth century by a new genre, the grammatical commentary. The overwhelming importance of Donatus and commentaries on Donatus and the emergence of the elementary foreign-language grammar in the …

The study of Latin grammar in eighth-century Southumbria
Insular Latinity – its origins, characteristics, affiliations and dissemination – has attracted much attention in the last decade. One area which has benefited from this increased interest is the investigation of the Latin grammars written by Insular scholars: consider, for example, the editions of Insular grammatical writings recently published in the Corpus Christianorum Series Latina. But it is noteworthy that the Anglo-Latin grammarians have …
Notes on the dating and attribution of anonymous Latin grammarians of the early middle ages
The Latin and Old English glosses in the ars Tatuini
The practice of the late classical grammarians of providing copious lists of frequently archaic and obscure examples of the parts of speech was subjected to varying treatment at the hands of their medieval adapters. Some omitted these lists altogether; some substituted commoner examples current in ecclesiastical vocabulary; others incorporated the classical material almost unaltered into their own works. The ars grammatica Tatuini , a lengthy tre…
